You mistake my argument. It isn't that moderate Muslims inevitably turn fanatical if well-armed, it's that Muslim groups fighting Islamic governments are almost invariably cored by hard-line Islamists who pretend to moderation to get Western aid. The hard core Islamist who wants his nation to be an Islamic theocracy run by rigid adherence to sharia is much more motivated to risk his life in rebellion than is the moderate Muslim who just wants to live his life in peace.
Too bad we didn't have words to describe these people without all the double meanings.
Islamist = anyone who follows Islam or someone who wants to turn the world into SA or such
Hard line, hard core, rigid adherence to sharia also could describe all Muslims
